models got that part right....they nail BDR and points east tonight with new activity...models had the "jump zone" yesterday and looks like they were on to something.  (this doesn't include the day time heating pop up activity we are seeing now inland)

We have seen the jump many times. Im not sure of the mechanism that causes it. Inland areas do well with localized convection and then an organized area of convection shoots up from (I would think the Gulf Stream) and becomes an organized area of strataform rains for eastern New England

Looking more and more likely that we end up with some light stratiform rains from the city east later. Thus totals are going to fall short of earlier forecasts 

for whatever reason, those echos are falling apart as they approach LI.  Same thing happened Monday AM

Last time we had over 15.00 inches of rain during a calendar month was August 2011.

Baltimore (BWI) is up to 15.04 inches of rain this month. Closing in on the 18.35 inch all-time monthly record in Aug 1955. Remarkably that location has had three days of 3+ inch rainfall in the eight days ending yesterday (two days well past). That ties for the most in a YEAR. pic.twitter.com/lpVA3QUost

Radar indicating over 10 inches of rain over the last few days just east of Harrisburg (not including Saturday's soaker). Had this set up 30 miles east my rafting trip would be kaput.

Also I have to say the models have really struggled to get a hold of this convective situation. As much as they can be aggravating during the winter traditional coastal storms are much more their wheelhouse. The HRRR has probably been the least bad but situations like this are supposed to be its forte.

That line in PA is nuts. Bad news for them. It just doesn’t seem to be making much progress. I think part of our problem is we are now in a more stable marine environment. I have really been noticing the last few days you need water temps 80+ to get good convection going. Kind of like with hurricanes. Low to mid 70s just doesn’t cut it. Still holding out hope for better rains tonight and when I say hope the Wantagh meso is .99” for this entire event since Saturday
